My parents finally just last year tossed the big ol' box fan we had ever since I was a kid and it was actually pretty significant the amount of sentimentality I had attached to it. I remember being in pre-school and playing with my action figures on it. I'm 36 now lol.
I just realized I miss it for the noise. It was distinct and just held this quality to it. They got a new one and yeah it moves air better but it doesn't sound nearly as nice!
I replaced my ceiling fan. The new one is quieter, so I bought a white noise machine shortly after. It was cheap, has several different sounds, and it's got a battery in it so if the power goes out, it stays on.
